The War To End All Wars, Pupils will experience the emotions of the First World War through this immersive workshop
Norman Conquest
Our hands-on workshop is guaranteed to inspire your students and further their understanding of how the Normans successfully conquered England in 1066.
See our Norman Learning Resources for free videos, images and audio files to use with your pupils to enhance their learning.
Workshop Information
Your students will get their hands on the arms and armour used in 1066 and become the characters depicted in the famous Bayeux tapestry.
Your students will re-enact the key conflicts of 1066, including the Battle of Fulford, Stamford Bridge and Hastings, to understand how battle tactics and strategy helped decide the outcome.
‘The workshop was a perfect fit with our Norman conquest scheme of work and the knowledge the students acquired during their visit to yourself was shown through their class work.’ – Teacher at Excel Academy.
